Joint art show explores
the light of the solstice
ASTORIA — Artists Terrie
Remington and Kitty Paino
will hold “Solstice Enlight-
ened,” a joint art show at
Grace Episcopal Church’s
gallery. The art show opens
with a reception from 11
a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, Nov.
20, where visitors can meet
the artists.
The church is located at
1545 Franklin Ave. The art
show will run to Jan. 3.
The two Astoria artists
often share ideas for how
to bring light into their
paintings, and although
their styles are different,
their approach to light is
the same. They both feel
that when the days begin
to be darker in winter,
it makes it even more
important to celebrate
the joy of light, and they
decided to call their show
“Solstice Enlightened” to
represent that apprecia-
tion.
Remington’s work
will highlight the painted
sculpture technique she
has refined over the last
50 years. She has been an
accomplished professional
artist as both her avocation
and vocation for her entire
adult life. She was born
in New York and studied
art in Arizona, California,
Seattle and Madrid, Spain.
Her multi-media sculptures
are made of clay, natural
fibers and raw linen mar-
bleized for durability, then
painted in acrylics and oil.
Sealed driftwood, shells
and feathers are sometimes
utilized. She attempts to
capture passion and emo-
tional fire in her paintings.

Paino works with
multi-media on canvas
and paper using acrylics,
watercolor and incorporat-
ing paper she’s enhanced

marbleizing, citrasolv and
washi paper. For her, the
journey is the reward when
painting, and she has a con-
nection with nature that is
reflected in her work. She
has won numerous awards
for her art, including
having work in the Oregon
Coast Arts Commission’s
permanent collection;
multiple pieces juried into
“Au Naturel: The Nude
in the 21st Century”; and
multiple Best of Show and
People’s Choice awards at
Trail’s End Art Association
in Gearhart. Paino is a life-
time resident of the Oregon
Coast, holds a graduate
degree in art from the Uni-
versity of Oregon and is a
retired Clatsop Community
College administrator. Her
